Functionality added to the WebGPU spec after its first shipment in a browser. Adds a synchronous GPUAdapter info attribute to retrieve the same information about the physical adapter as with the asynchronous GPUAdapter requestAdapterInfo() method. A separate Intent will be sent to deprecate and remove the asynchronous GPUAdapter requestAdapterInfo() method.
The GPUAdapter info attribute has not yet been implemented in any browser. It has been approved by the GPU for the Web Community Group, with representatives from Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. See minutes at https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/wiki/GPU-Web-2024-05-22#add-synchronous-gpuadapterinfo-4550
Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
None
None
All platforms will eventually have support. Will immediately be available on Android, Android WebView, ChromeOS, Mac, and Windows, since those platforms already support WebGPU. Linux is planned to have WebGPU support in the future, so this feature will become available when WebGPU does.
See https://github.com/gpuweb/cts/pull/3679 WebGPU/WGSL have a conformance test suite (https://github.com/gpuweb/cts) that is regularly pulled into Chromium and part of the testing of Dawn/Tint in Chromium.

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
